Multiple meta descriptions found - MozBar
-
We are getting "Multiple meta descriptions found!" error when testing meta in the Chrome MozBar extension. We are using the Wordpress All in One SEO plugin. Thinking there may be a conflict with default meta description being blank and needing removed to not conflict with meta generated by All in One SEO.
Curious if anyone has come across this and any info on eradicating the issue would be greatly appreciated. Most likely a newbie question on my part.
Thanks!

I think I misunderstood - I thought you were reporting an issue with the MozBar, but it sounds like you are asking for advice on an issue that surfaced through the MozBar. I will let you guys figure it out from here!

I checked the homepage and the housing page and both have the blank description tag. It definitely looks like a plugin/theme issue. Looks like your All in One SEO plugin descriptions are showing alright. Check in your theme files, specially header.php and see if there's an empty description tag in there. You never know, it happens sometimes

-Seeing it site wide and other sites we recently launched so assuming I may need to hit up All in One SEO support and continue to troubleshoot conflicts as Mike mentioned.
MozBar version: 2.63
Browser: Chrome

Hello! A few questions:
- are you using version 2.63 of the MozBar?
- are you seeing this on any particular sites or pages?
- Which browser are you using?
I would be happy to test this end to see if I can replicate the issue!
Thanks,
Jon

I've had this issue twice in the past. Once was because of a conflict between All In One SEO and another plugin which was fixed by updating the plugins. The second time was after a theme change where it turned out the theme had an internal suite of SEO tools that were adding the secondary description which was fixed by shutting off those features. Without knowing all the details of your wordpress site, its a bit hard to determine the exact cause. Check that your theme doesn't have a function interfering with All In One and try turning off plugins to see if any of them are in conflict. Could be as simple as needing an update.

Meta Tag Descriptions not being found in Moz Crawls
Hey guys, I have been managing a few websites and have input them into Moz for crawl reports, etc. For a while I have noticed that we were getting a gratuitous amount of errors when it came to the number of missing meta tags. It was numbering in the 200's. The sites were in place before I got here and a lot of the older posts no one had even attempted to include tags, links of the page or anything. As they are all Wordpress Sites and they all already had the Yoast/Wordpress SEO plug-in installed on them, I decided I would go through each post and media file one at a time and update their meta tags via the plug in. I personally did this so I know that I added and saved each one, however the Moz crawl reports continue to show that we are missing roughly 200 meta tags. I've seen a huge drop off in 404 errors and stuff since I went through and double checked everything on the sites, however the meta tag errors persist. Is this the case that Moz is not recognizing the tags when it crawls because I used the Yoast Plugin? Or would you say that the plugin is the issue and I should find another way to add meta tags to the pages and posts on the site? My main concern is that if Moz is having issues crawling the sites, is Google also seeing the same thing? The URLS include:

Mozbar SERP Control Panel Help: Export Results Option Not Available
Hi everyone. For some strange reason, the "Export" option is no longer appearing in my SERP Control panel when trying to export results from the SERP Overlay. It worked fine before SEOMoz changed over to Moz, but now the option is no longer available. Is there something I can do to restore this feature?

Can you track the same keywords across multiple campaigns?
I have a few clients in similar industries across the country and I'm wondering if it's possible to track the same keywords (for instance, air conditioner repair, faucet replacement) across more than one campaign, or if I'll had to reupload the same keyword list for each one. Thanks!!

Multiple users & logins for one Pro account?
Hi, Is there a way of setting up multiple users under one account? Ideally I need to be able to provide access to different users without access to billing/account settings. If this isn't available, is it something that could be developed? This would be a very useful feature. Thanks Joe
